The current price there for brazier copper is £3100/tonne.
I rang my local dealer today with a view to weighing in the 100kg or so
I have here - I'm not bothering yet, they are paying £1.20/kg, well
under half the quoted price.

I knew they would pay less, as the prices quoted on the link above are
bulk wholesale prices, but to be 60% down is rather too much for me.
